About

Introduction

Operation Lifesaver saves lives by educating Canadians about the hazards surrounding rail property and trains. Our goal is to prevent collisions between trains and motor vehicles. We also work to prevent trespassing incidents that lead to serious injury or death. We must continue our mission because one injury or fatality is one too many, especially when you consider that virtually every incident is preventable. We make over 500 presentations per year to schools, youth clubs, driver associations, snowmobile clubs, and other community groups. We work with the rail industry, government, police, unions, the media, other organizations and the public to spread the word. Please take the time to peruse our site and share our life-saving materials – handy “sharing buttons” for the social web are placed throughout. What you learn about trains, crossings, motor vehicle accidents, trespassing, and railway safety might save a life. This web site offers something of interest for all age groups and I welcome your input on any improvements. I hope you enjoy this site and should you require additional information on Operation Lifesaver, or on how to become an active supporter, please feel free to contact us through the “Contact” link or at admin@operationlifesaver.ca. Make safety your priority.
